Vodka
 

I heard vodka is a good substitute for wine or beer because it contains no carbs. Anyone had a bad experience with vodka?

Ur body will burn vodka as fuel instead of fat. After its done with it it will switch over again:)

lol good to know!

Yes, and alcohol not only gets burned before fat (alcohol is like jet fuel to your body, it's almost ketones already) it will dehydrate you. However, it won't knock you out of ketosis (due to the fact that it gets burned as ketones).

Hi!
I've had a lot of experience with vodka....most of it good :)
T.

Have I had any bad experiences with vodka?

OOOHHhhh yeah. There was the one morning where I woke up on the couch in my underwear...but it wasn't my house, and um yeah...it wasn't my underwear either...

HA! :)

-Mizzou-rah!

hahaha :roll:

Natrushka, ahhh. I didn't know it gets burned as ketone bodies.

Well vodka doesn't have a lot of calories.. and with so much proof in it, it should give me a good knock with a couple of tbsps in my soda :D

Bad Experience with Vodka? nope

Tequila is another story!

I second that. Although a lot of people thought I was nuts for going from Vodka and lemonade to vodka and uhh vodka (with a water side).

What about Khalua.I love it with cream.How many carbs init?Does it burn off also? Maybe we should switch to low carb alcohol diet hahah

Once I drank vodka and rasberry diet rite soda, sitting on the dock, watching the boats go by, was terrific and didn't seem to have a negative affect on my weight loss that week.

Kalua and other cream type lequires can be really high carb. Some can be up to 20g per oz. You can make a mockkalua, there is a recipe in Diana Carpenters 500 Low-Carb Recipes. SHe also has a recipe for making a cheesecake out of the mock kalua.

mmmm, vodka and diet coke :D

Here are two other vodka ideas:

take some lemon flavoured vodka (I used Absolut Lemon) and mix with a little Splenda and marscapone cheese for a truly decadent dessert

take some vodka from the freezer and add in a few drops of natural vanilla essence, add a tiny bit of Splenda if you like it sweet and you have vanilla flavoured vodka without paying the store price!

take a bottle of vodka and put into a wide-mouthed jug or bowl, split and add in 5 whole chilli's and 2 quartered limes, leave for at least 48 hours, strain and freeze, it's a great unusual flavour and don't discard the chilli's and lime, use them in cooking :D

You get drunk a lot quicker now so be careful
